Connection: No external connection required.
4. CTRL (Control Signal):
Function: Control signal input
Description: This pin receives a digital signal to control the blower's speed and direction.
Connection: Connect to a microcontroller or other control device (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi).
5. SPEED (Speed Indicator):
Function: Speed indicator output
Description: This pin provides a digital signal indicating the blower's speed (e.g., 0-5V).
Connection: Connect to a microcontroller or other monitoring device.
6. FAN (Fan Signal):
Function: Fan signal output
Description: This pin provides a digital signal controlling the blower's fan motor.
Connection: Connect to a fan motor driver or other motor control circuitry.
7. OVERHEAT (Overheat Indicator):
Function: Overheat indicator output
Description: This pin provides a digital signal indicating when the blower's temperature exceeds a safe threshold.
Connection: Connect to a microcontroller or other monitoring device.
8. AIRFLOW (Airflow Sensor):
Function: Airflow sensor input
Description: This pin connects to an internal airflow sensor that monitors the blower's airflow.
Connection: No external connection required.
9. LED (LED Indicator):
Function: LED indicator output
Description: This pin provides a digital signal controlling an external LED indicator (e.g., power, error, or status).
Connection: Connect to an external LED and resistor (if necessary).
10. NC (No Connection):
Function: No internal connection
Description: This pin has no internal connection and should not be connected to any external components.
Connection Considerations:
When connecting the Soldron 8858 to a microcontroller or other devices, ensure the following:
Use a suitable power supply and ground connection to avoid overheating and damage.
Use a logic-level converter if the control signal voltage does not match the microcontroller's logic level.
Use a suitable voltage regulator and decoupling capacitors to stabilize the power supply and minimize noise.
By following these guidelines and understanding the pinout of the Soldron 8858, you can successfully integrate this IoT component into your project and take advantage of its versatile features.

Code Examples

### Example 1: Basic Temperature Control using Arduino

In this example, we'll demonstrate how to control the Soldron 8858's temperature using an Arduino board.

Hardware Requirements:

Soldron 8858 Portable Hot Air Blower
 Arduino Uno or compatible board
 Breadboard and jumper wires

Software Requirements:

Arduino IDE (version 1.8 or later)

Code:
```c
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

#define BLOWER_TX 2  // UART TX pin on Arduino
#define BLOWER_RX 3  // UART RX pin on Arduino

SoftwareSerial blowerSerial(BLOWER_TX, BLOWER_RX);

void setup() {
  blowerSerial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  // Set temperature to 300F (149C)
  blowerSerial.write("T03
");
  delay(1000);

// Get current temperature
  blowerSerial.write("T?
");
  char tempStr[6];
  blowerSerial.readBytesUntil('
', tempStr, 6);
  Serial.print("Current temperature: ");
  Serial.println(tempStr);

delay(5000);
}
```
### Example 2: Airflow Control using Python and Raspberry Pi

In this example, we'll demonstrate how to control the Soldron 8858's airflow rate using a Raspberry Pi and Python.

Hardware Requirements:

Soldron 8858 Portable Hot Air Blower
 Raspberry Pi (any model)
 Breadboard and jumper wires

Software Requirements:

Raspbian OS (version 10 or later)
 Python 3.x

Code:
```python
import serial
import time

# Open the serial connection
blower.Serial("/dev/ttyUSB0", 9600, timeout=1)

while True:
    # Set airflow rate to 15 CFM
    blower.write(b"A015
")
    time.sleep(1)

# Get current airflow rate
    blower.write(b"A?
")
    airflow_rate = blower.readline().decode().strip()
    print(f"Current airflow rate: {airflow_rate} CFM")

time.sleep(5)
```
Note: In both examples, ensure that the Soldron 8858 is properly connected to the controlling device (Arduino or Raspberry Pi) and that the power supply is sufficient to operate the blower.
